Though we admire San Francisco's baseball team, it's the seagulls who skillfully swoop down to search the bleachers for food after the game who really inspire us. Take flight with today's deal from Skytrekker Aviation: Grab a friend and enjoy a two-hour flying lesson for two for $185 (regularly $370) -- one person pilots, the other is a passenger. This tutorial includes up to two hours of instruction, and some gorgeous Bay Area views. You'll take off in either a Cessna or a Piper from the Palo Alto Airport with an expert flight instructor who has been teaching beginners the ins and outs of the Bay Area airways since 1999. Your lessons includes aircraft orientation and preflight inspection, instruction in how to taxi and take off, a discussion of the San Francisco airspace, and departure and arrival procedures. You'll also receive a voucher for six free issues of Flight Training magazine and a six-month trial Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association membership. Make like a McCovey Cove seagull and fly away with this deal.
